Hiking - LE CASTELLET - Font de Mars

A journey back in time on the route of the old medieval trail from Toulon to Marseille, through garrigue and maquis.

“For me, the Vallon de Mars is a classic example of the interaction between humans and nature. People lived here in the Neolithic period, the Romans established a camp here, the medieval path passed through it, and the local hill-dwellers worked here. All of this is still more or less visible and shows how this site sustained human life. Now, it's a pleasure to gaze upon the landscape amid the heather fields.” Stéphane Auffret, mountain guide.

In summer, the area is at high risk of fire. As a result, access is regulated from 21 June to 20 September. Check the access conditions for the forest areas, which are updated daily on the Var prefecture website.
